Finally I can now say its finished. Granted it'll always be a work in progress, but I can now say its fit for viewing as "my portfolio".

Its theme is flower photography, surprise surprise. 16 pictures, 1 from film, 15 from my 5D. Surprisingly, there are a few taken from the last 6 months or so. Then again maybe I've considerably improved my composition and technique in the last 6 months.

Anyway below is the link. I haven't integrated into the site yet. I want to make some changes and I'll add it in then. Until that happens, the link is below. I've provided an html version and a flash version for those with preferences. Enjoy

I showed the images I was considering for inclusion in my flower portfolio to someone at work in order to get some feedback other than my own. I was told one of the roses (the pink one) didn't quite fit and after talking with the person I agreed. So I removed that image as well as one of the purple calla lily shots (I had two). Also I added one of my recent photographs. The grand total so far is 16 images.

At this point this portfolio will be geared toward my work on shooting flowers and intended for a general audience. Once its complete I'll make portfolios that are gear for a particular publication, person, gallery, etc in order to fit their needs / tastes.

I decided to make several methods of viewing the portfolio (still a work in progress, probably always will be but for now its not "finished").

A few minutes ago the count of images I have under consideration for inclusion into my portfolio came down to 19. My target count is 10-20.

Like I said in an earlier post, my mission is for this portfolio to represent my best work in flower photography (I may compile a more generic all encompassing portfolio later).

I've decided to post the images right here. I haven't quite committed to them so the picks may change and even the total image count. Since there are 19 in all, I decided to make the image size quite small. I thought it would be faster to load. If you think they are too small, when I get my selections finalized I'll post the portfolio using a larger image size.

I'm finally getting around to working on a photography portfolio. Oh and by the way, I'm back from my honeymoon married and all (had a great time). I'll use it to sell my work to galleries, potential print customer, web visitors, etc. As I'm working on it, I am thinking about selling the prints found in the portfolio as a package. I'm still thinking about it because I'm not sure how to sell it. Its possible I'll abandon the idea of selling all together.

Putting together a portfolio isn't an easy task. I haven't consultant any books, guides, etc on doing so either. I think it'll be interesting to see what I can do with using the idea that it should sell my work to anyone to sees it (or in other words put forth my best work that helps to illustrate my skills, talent, etc.) guide me in its assemblage. The image count I'm hoping to achieve is 10-20. Something to think about is how to present this portfolio. Which binder should I use? Which size should the prints be (as of now I'm thinking about 8x12")?

Once I am finished I will publish it on this web site for all visitors to view. Be sure to tell me what you think of it.
